Olympic Wrestling ... Day 5

[Wrestleknownothing]

Valiev pushed to the edge but dances lile a star amd Zhamalov steps out. V gets to a leg on the restart now up 5-2. But Z gets a quick TD on restart 5-4 for V. Z upping the pace with 30 to go. But Valiev survives. Savvy. Wait a caution makes it 5-5 a d there is a challenge.

Aliev beats Zhamolov (sp?).  Surprised me.  

[D3 for LU]

Challenge on Mat A...

[Gus]

uhhhhhhhhh what lol

[Gus]

Valiev loses on a caution +1 challenge

[Dark Energy]

No way!!!  They give it to Zhamalov!!  Fleeing 2 times so fast!!  That is CRAP!!!

[oldschool]

WTF wow; Zhamalov just overturned the match vs Valiev on a desperation challenge right at the end. That's crazy. Honestly, I think Valiev was just robbed. He looks so confused.

[D3 for LU]

Challenge WON!

Fleeing the contact, not engaging... Uzebek wins the bout.

Zhamalov wins challenge. Overturns result 6-5 Zhamalov. Valiev shocked.

[Spladle08]

Wait I walked away when Zhamalov lost, did he just win ?

[Eagle26]

Wow! I can’t believe they reversed that! Two cautions in the last six seconds to lose!

Gentleman - what time EST is Spencer wrestling? Thanks

Expand  

He's the 9th match of a session that begins at 12:15, and it all happens on one mat. 

Two semifinals for each of the three weights that started today, then the two bronze matches in his weight. 

1:00 should be a safe bet. Mostly depends on techs and challenges.

Fortunately, Dake is leading off the session, so NBC can only slow it down a little to tell the story of Benjamin Button. 

 

[pawrestler]

Uhhhh

[Spladle08]

WHAT!

[Dark Energy]

I thought the first caution was crap.  Second?  No way.

5-3 or 6-3 Miracle still needed two scores to win...

And she did score two times. Still lost 6-6. Without the challenge the score would have been 6-5 Miracle wins.

How can you get a fleeing call on a challenge

[Pinnacle]

Anyone else see the ref award Valiev 4 but the scoreboard only gave him 2? 

[D3 for LU]

This session is OVAH!

[oldschool]

Valiev was robbed. There's no reason the refs should give 2 points within the last 10 seconds for defensive wrestling. Crazy that they let the refs decide that match.

Yes, they gave him another caution at the very end. Crazy

[Dark Energy]

Guy was blocking but stayed toward center.  Was not fleeing.

He was fleeing pretty bad. Should have learned from the first one. This isn't fleeing the mat- it's fleeing the hold which he was clearly doing.

That happens sometimes when the side refs don't agree w/ the mat ref.
